Wenn ich gedenk der Stund, da ich muß scheiden,
wie denn geschehen wird in kurzen Tagen,
mein Herz im Leib will mir vor Leid verzagen.

Weil ich dann muß davon mit Trauren fahren,
und dich nicht sehen mehr in vielen Jahren,
mein Herz im Leib will mir vor Leid verzagen.


English.png English translation by Mick Swithinbank

When I think of the time when we must part,
in just a few short days from now,
my heart within my breast is filled with despair.

For then with sorrow I must take my leave,
and see you no more for many years to come:
my heart within my breast is filled with despair.
